Chapter Forty-Six: The Opponents
"Hey, these scenes are all classic clips of "Dream of Red Mansions", can you finish it in ten minutes?" After flipping through the script, Su Wen couldn't help but wonder.
"You're stupid, the script is dead, but people are alive." Song Yu's eyes seemed to be shining with starlight when he spoke, and he said with a radiant look, "I have also discussed this problem with the teacher before, our little drama can't really be like on TV, and the New Year's Day party is only two or three hours, our drama will be played for a few minutes, and the most exciting and core performance can be done." Like 'Bao Dai reads "West Chamber" together', the time for one song during the performance is enough. ”
"This should be okay," Listening to the boy's answer, Su Wen instantly breathed a sigh of relief, but thinking of the difficulty of performing the classics, he couldn't help but start worrying again, "I'm just worried about what if the classics are ruined?" ”
Thinking of this, Su Wen stared nervously with bated breath.
"How do you know if you can't do it if you don't try? There's still a lot of time to prepare! The boy smiled confidently, "I think we can do it!" Inherit the classics, just try your best to perform well! Don't worry, acting in a drama is not as difficult as you think! ”
"Well, then we'll do our best!"
The girl flipped through the script again, and another doubt began to ferment, "Are you sure to play five acts?" Wouldn't it be a bit much? ”
"This is indeed a bit of a thing," the boy said after a moment's thought, "and then we will have a meeting to discuss which scenes to play?" However, 'Daiyu Enters Jiafu' and 'Bao Dai Reads "West Chamber" together' will definitely be performed, you can prepare first. ”
"Hmm!"
In the first few days when he got the script, Su Wen memorized the script lines vigorously, and after returning to the dormitory after the evening self-study, he waited in line to use the bathroom, and Su Wen was very happy to memorize the words of the script.
The class committee members and the girls in the dormitory soon knew that Su Wen was going to play the heroine of the drama, and for a while, there were a few supporters, but there were not a few people who voiced dissent.
In addition to Song Yu, the most supportive of Su Wen to play Lin Daiyu in the class is none other than Su Wen's best friend Zhang Xiaoli in the class. Zhang Xiaoli has always loved to join in the fun, so he took the initiative to apply to Song Yu to join the drama troupe, and finally got the role of Shi Xiangyun.
"Xiao Li, you are indeed quite suitable for playing Shi Xiangyun!" Su Wen was excited to be able to star in a drama with his friends.
Zhang Xiaoqi's innocence coincides with Shi Xiangyun's coquettishness. I have to say that drama casting is inseparable from the actor's character, and the success of a role does not exclude the factors of acting skills, but more about the actor's own temperament and understanding of the role.
"Hee-hee, I'm going to join in the fun with you!" Zhang Xiaoli smiled innocently, "Although I went to make soy sauce, I should be able to wear ancient costumes by then!" So happy! ”
"Yes, it would be nice if the drama could be longer, 'Xiangyun Drunk Lying' is also a very classic clip!" Su Wen thought about this, and said with regret.
"Haha, it's okay! I'm just going to have fun anyway! Zhang Xiaoli smiled so much that his eyes bent into two crescents, "Su Wen, just play your Daiyu well!" I'll be rooting for you behind the scenes! ”
Su Wen nodded and said affirmatively, "Hmm! The first time I perform on stage, the first time I act in a drama, I will definitely do my best to do it well! ”
"Trust us Su Wen is the best!" Zhang Xiaoli hugged Su Wen's arm tightly, Chu Chu's pitiful look was like a puppy begging for the comfort of his master, Zhang Xiaoli leaned his head on Su Wen's shoulder affectionately, "You are our heroine!" I've got to hug your thighs! ”
Su Wen couldn't cry or laugh when he heard Zhang Xiaoli's nonsensical words, "Please, Xiaoli, you are holding my arm, not my thigh!" ”
"Hee-hee! I don't care! Just hug! The little girl was a scoundrel.
There are voices of support, and there are inevitably voices of opposition, and one night after self-study, Su Wen and Zhang Xiaoli stayed in the classroom for a few minutes because they had not finished the exercises. As soon as he returned to the dormitory, before he stepped into the dormitory door, Su Wen heard the grumbling voice of his roommate Chen Yaling from the crack in the hidden door: "Why can she Su Wen play Lin Daiyu?" If she can act, I can play too! ”
"Who knows, she has a good relationship with the squad leader, what can we do?" Liang Yunyi pursed her lips and agreed, "I originally asked Song Yu to discuss whether to perform a dance show, but who knew that he would reject it!" ”
Chen Yaling was puzzled, "Why? Dance shows are popular now, right? ”
"Who knows! I showed him the dance video, and he had to say that my dance style is more unrestrained, and high school students are not suitable for dancing! Liang Yunyi remembered that she had asked Song Yu to report the show before, and became angry, "How well the Korean girl group dances, he doesn't know how to appreciate it!" He didn't even know how popular my dance was on the Internet! ”
"Isn't it? The squad leader thinks so traditionally? Or is it because our school doesn't allow sexier dances at the New Year's party? Chen Yaling said in shock.
"Who knows? Maybe, anyway, I don't have much to look forward to the New Year's Day party. Liang Yunyi said angrily, "At the New Year's Day party hosted by the school, I don't know how many school leaders will have to listen to those official songs on stage that make people want to sleep!" ”
"That's infuriating!" Chen Yaling changed her mind and said, "But Yunyi, you can dance at the theatrical evening held by our class!" Anyway, you are a member of the art committee of our class, and our class's own New Year's Day party should be a little more exciting! ”
"It depends on the mood! The party of your own class will definitely not be so official! Liang Yunyi was very puzzled, and a pair of Danfeng eyes stared at the ceiling, "What is the inheritance of classics, maybe it's just that the squad leader wants to act in this show!" ”
"Yes, and yes, can you still play Sister Lin like Su Wen? If you don't look in the mirror, you really think you're Snow White! Chen Yaling's scathing voice was full of dissatisfaction.
Just in an awkward moment, Su Wen didn't know whether to step into the dormitory door or not, only quietly listened to the sound in the dormitory, and stood stiffly at the door of the dormitory like a sculpture. I don't push open the door on the spot, but I don't want to break the scathing face of the girl who talks about right and wrong behind her back, and I can save some of my face by hiding.
Zhang Xiaoli took Su Wen's hand and pushed the dormitory door open, and stared at the girls who were talking about right and wrong in the dormitory, "Why do you say that?" Su Wen was invited to play Lin Daiyu! It's not that Su Wen said with a shy face that he wanted to act! ”
Zhang Xiaoli stiffened her neck and had the momentum of a big quarrel with her roommate, and the two girls, Chen Yaling and Liang Yunyi, were hit on the spot and said right and wrong, and their eyes widened in shame.
Chen Yaling knew that she was at a loss, her voice was weak, and she pretended to be innocent, "We didn't talk about Su Wen!" Wouldn't it be okay to discuss it? ”
"Discussion? Is there anything you discussed? Zhang Xiaoli was very indignant, "You want to play Sister Lin, you go to the squad leader and the class committee members to say?" Let's see if they let you play? It's not the squad leader's idea alone, and the others also agree that Su Wen is suitable, okay? ”
In fact, the class committee with a majority of girls is not full of people who support Su Wen to play Lin Daiyu, when the class committee convened a meeting of the drama performance troupe for the first time, several female class committee members in the performance troupe expressed their dissatisfaction, who is the little-known Su Wen? If Xiao Shijie, who is quite prestigious in the class, comes to play the heroine of the drama, they have nothing to blame for this result, but the heroine candidate who was promoted by the class leader is Su Wen, and criticism is everywhere.
She ??? Will it work? ”
"I don't think it's good, the appearance is not good, don't all those who play Sister Lin have to have at least Xiao Shijie's flower-level appearance?"
"Su Wen can play Lin Daiyu like this, I think I can also play it!"
"It's not fair! Why is Su Wen playing Lin Daiyu? ”
At the meeting, the girls bit their ears and buzzed with discussions, and in the end, Song Yu, who was still the class leader, interrupted the girls' discussions, "Okay, okay! Let's pause first, you think Su Wen is not suitable for acting, so who is suitable? Playing Lin Daiyu mainly depends on temperament, not everyone can play Lin Daiyu, I recommend Su Wen because her temperament is more similar, and there is no other reason. ”
"Xiao Shijie, at least Xiao Shijie is beautiful, right?"
"Yes, yes!" A girl chimed in.
"Me? The class leader said that my temperament is not like Lin Daiyu, what can I do? Xiao Shijie spread her hands and said disapprerovingly, "What's more, I have to host the New Year's Day Gala, and I don't have so much time to prepare for the heroine's role." It's also very good to play Baochai! ”
"That's right, Xiao Shijie has more things! She's going to perform a singing show, right? ”
"yes, I have another show to prepare." Xiao Shijie said, her eyes crossed the group of girls to Su Wen, who was silent, and smiled gently, "Actually, I also think that Su Wen's temperament is very similar to Lin Daiyu, she is also a sentimental girl, and there is actually a bit of classical temperament between her eyebrows, so I approve of Su Wen to play the role of Lin Daiyu!" I think there is really no one in the class who is more suitable for playing Lin Daiyu than Su Wen! ”
After Xiao Shijie's reconciliation, the girls in the class committee who did not agree with Su Wen playing the heroine of the drama also reluctantly agreed to this role arrangement.
Su Wen's excitement for acting in drama was half extinguished by the first drama performance troupe meeting, and the meeting was finally decided to play the heroine Lin Daiyu by Su Wen.
But I don't want to hear the opposing and contemptuous voice of my roommate who gets along day and night the moment I enter the door of my bedroom.
"Just like that, she still plays Sister Lin? If you don't look in the mirror, you really think you're Snow White! Chen Yaling's harsh words echoed in Su Wen's mind.
A brief dispute in the dormitory soon came to an end, Zhang Xiaoli comforted Su Wen with his hand under cover and said, "Don't listen to Chen Yaling's nonsense there, just think that there is a dog barking!" Don't take it to heart, she's jealous that you can play the heroine! ”
"Well, in fact, she is right, I doubt that I can play Lin Daiyu well." Su Wen tried to hide the inferiority complex surging in his heart, but the corners of his mouth curled into a wry smile.
Zhang Xiaoli sincerely encouraged, "You can! In my eyes, you are suitable for this role, and no one else can play it well! ”
"Well, Xiao Oak, don't worry, since I agreed to act in a drama, I will do it." At least try to do it, so as not to be ridiculed.
That night, Su Wen deliberately looked in the mirror and carefully stared at herself with plain facial features in the mirror, Su Wen was very self-aware, she never felt that she was Snow White, she was just a grizzled Cinderella. Oh no, Cinderella has the day to become a princess, she doesn't, at least not yet.
Su Wen has always known this clearly. But she doesn't want to give up, she just wants to prove herself.
